SEA Board Chair Jim Fruchterman describes social enterprise as the new face of business.

The moment I attended my first SEA Summit was the first time in a decade that I had felt like I was with people who thought like me, whose head didn't explode when they talked passionately about both social mission and business. I felt at home! And, I committed to coming back.

We hit a record!


With over 730 attendees this year's Summit was our biggest ever! Social entrepreneurs and enthusiasts from over 30 countries around the world convened for three days, attended sessions  and panels, shared ideas and made connections. But most importantly, they were inspired to become part of an expanding movement to address some of the world toughest challenges.

Our outstanding keynote speakers, Chip Heath and Dan Pallotta really put things in perspective   and gave new ways to think about approaches to the field. Attendees drew inspiration from over     40 workshops and panels, along with tours of San Francisco-based social enterprises. And we honored those who continue to inspire us with the 2010 Social Enterprise Leadership Awards
